Dear Readers,
When you read this post I shall be on vacation. There is something sweet about being able to write a post a couple days ahead. For some reason and I guess it is so I don't have to worry about it on vacation, it just makes it more satisfying. Whatever it is, I plan on getting some reading done and I can't wait.
Happy Reading,

Morgan L. Busse
Dear Readers,
I was enjoying spending time on an author chat on Facebook. It was fun to interact with not only other readers, but also various authors. I later found out I had won one of the drawings for a book, how fun and new book! Tainted by Morgan L. Busse. I will freely admit this is not a book I would normally read as it is in the steampunk genre. I will also say that I am very glad I read it.
Tainted is book #1 in the Soul Chronicles with book #2 due out the spring of 2017. Which is not soon enough in my humble opinion.
Kat Bloodmayne has always known she needs to keep her emotions in check. There is a power within her that is released when she has any strong emotional response. This power can hurt others and she has little to no control over it. Her greatest desire is to find a cure so she can live a normal happy life.
Bounty Hunter Stephen Gray has a reputation of always finding his man. But when Kat shows up one morning asking for help Stephen knows there is something very different about her and her request.
A fast-paced action adventure filled with evil scientist, steampunk themes, and fantasy. I would recommend this book to not just fans of steampunk, but for anyone looking for a good read. I am looking forward to what happens to Kat and Stephen.
Thank you Morgan to being brave enough to wade into a different genre in the Christian Market.

New Release - My Sister's Prayer - Mindy Starns Clark/Leslie Gould
My Sister's Prayer - Mindy Starns Clark/Leslie Gould - #2 Cousins of the Dove
Women of Fearless Devotion Virginia, 1705 Celeste Talbot is usually such a sensible young woman--until she falls for an English soldier reassigned to the Colonies. Leaving her Huguenot family behind, she sets sail for America, only to learn that her younger sister Berta has been kidnapped and forced on board the very same ship. Whom can Celeste trust? The dashing soldier? Or the vigilant carpenter who remains by their side in the perilous New World?
Virginia, present day Madeline "Maddee" Talbot has her hands full when she agrees to take in her younger sister Nicole following a serious car accident. The young women grew apart when Nicole fell into drug addiction, and Maddee prays this will be the start of a better life for her sister. But as they investigate a trauma from their childhood, Maddee must keep a diligent eye on Nicole--and the shadowy figure watching them from afar.
From the Christy Award-winning team of Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould, My Sister's Prayer tells an epic tale of two women compelled to protect their sisters, confront their fears, and navigate the muddy waters of betrayal to find true love.

Coming soon
Dear Readers,
There are some major titles releasing this fall. Ones that I am looking forward to and a couple I have had the privilege to read already. With heavy hitters like Lynn Austin-October - Waves of Mercy, Beverly Lewis - September - The Wish, and Charels Martin -October -Long Way Home releasing titles, that makes for a great fall.
You also have the likes of Davis Bunn - Septembet - The Domino Effect, Susan May Warren -October-Wild Montana Skies, and Katherine Reay -November -The Potrait of Emily Price releasing new titles and I begin to wonder when I will find time to read them all.
Then you find out new comers Mike Nappa - October - the Raven and Connilyn Cossette - October - The Shadow of the Storm are continuing series that have proven their writing chops and maybe you make plans to take a leave of absence.
Of course that isn't then end of the good news, you find out that Beth Moore is releasing her first fiction book and this just might be the best fall line up you have ever seen. Well at least until next year. Oh did I mention that it is rumored that Francine Rivers has a new fiction book releasing next year?
The book reading life is good.
